Frequently Asked Questions
What types of clinical bandages are available in this collection?
▼
The collection covers a broad range of medical bandages including crepe, conforming, cohesive, self-adherent, triangular, open-knitted, tubular netting, and compression wraps. There are also specialist options, such as the modular bandage, for emergency and tactical use.
What is the difference between cohesive and conforming bandages?
▼
Conforming bandages are lightweight, extensible bandages designed to follow body contours and secure dressings in place without applying significant compression. Cohesive bandages adhere to themselves rather than to skin or clothing, providing a firmer, more supportive wrap that stays in position without clips or tape. The right choice depends on whether the primary need is retention of a dressing or support and compression.
Are any of the medical bandages in this collection suitable for compression therapy?
▼
Yes. The collection includes crepe bandages and elasticated wraps that are commonly used in light compression applications.
Does this collection include bandages suitable for paediatric use?
▼
Several bandages in the collection are available in narrower widths, such as 5cm conforming and crepe bandages, which are commonly used in paediatric settings. Check individual product listings for size guidance to ensure the correct fit.
